want are your thoughts on what the caps ae going to do with this guy? with him coming to the caps next yr. would it be a good move for the caps to ship semin out ofr his contract will be up at the end of the yr.?

back to kuznetsov as a rookie, how much impact will he have in the nhl next yr, and years to come?

Next years rookie class is loaded! Mikael Granlund, Kuznetsov, Mika Zibanejad, Mark Schiefele, Ryan Strome, Jonathon Huberdeau, Nail Yakupov, Filip Forsberg and more. I would put Kuznetsov as my co-favorite along with Granlund. I expect him to have a great year especially playing with good linemates in Washington. I'm not sure when the KHL season ends or how it affects contracts but you could see him getting called up for a playoff run.

In his draft year the canucks had the pick before Washington, but traded it for Keith Ballard. Imagine a line in 7 years. Consisting of Jensen Hodgson and kuznetzov. It has everything!!

Ryan Kesler is a BEAST!

Kuznetzov has a leg up on the other candidates, since he will have talented offensive players surrounding him. I agree Semin's days as a cap are probably numbered, meaning Kuznetzov jumps in their top 6 right away. The kid is dynamite. Do I think he'll have an Ovechkin-like rookie campaign? Probably not. But 35+ goals is very possible. As a poolie im thinking like 6-7th round depending on how deep the league is.

He's not as well know as others. But he is a beasts. One of the few shining stars for the Flames, perhaps the only one.

He appears to be a solid replacement for Iginla when his time is done. I really like that kids game.
